183 North Mobility Project Public Hearing
|
THURSDAY, November 12 Open House from 5-6pm, Public Hearing at 6pm at Westwood High School cafeteria
The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA) has done a laudable job of including dedicated, shared-use bike and pedestrian paths in almost all of their toll road projects to date. However, their current plan for 183 North has a lot of room for improvement. Right now, only a fraction of the corridor (a matter of a few blocks) will have any type of bicycle accommodations, even though there's room for a shared use path along most of the corridor. Please attend this meeting and speak up for a shared use path on the entirety of 183 North! If you can't attend, please send the CTRMA an email and let them know you want a shared use path along all of 183 North. Check out the project webpage here, http://www.183north.com.
We know that the meeting is pretty far North for a lot of folks, so we're arranging car pools, leaving our office (1000 Brazos St) at 5:00 pm on Thursday, 11/12. Please email miller@bikeausitn.org if you'd like a lift. |
